AI-PACT

The candidate European Digital Innovation Hub AI-PACT (Artificial Intelligence for Public Administrations Connected) aims at facilitating the adoption of AI technologies for the digital transformation of public administrations by supporting the actors of the public services’ ecosystems: public administrations, start-ups, SMEs and larger firms of the gov tech industry with proper tools, service and capacity to design, develop, adopt and replicate digital public services based on AI technologies.
AI-PACT represents the outcome of a positive encounter among its partners that builds upon the development of a four-layer architecture framework and AI-based public services combining sound and complementary experience in multiple disciplines. AI-PACT is based on four-layer architecture framework that represents the necessary infrastructure to offer fit-for-purpose services to support the fulfilment of AI-PACT mission. The layers are closely intertwined; the first one relates to cloud infrastructures necessary to craft the second layer that is about original technological architectures, which are necessary to design and structure the third layer that in turn focuses on developing new methodologies and algorithms that ultimately can trigger the development of dedicated functionalities and services developed in the fourth layer. The focus of AI-PACT is on four vertical domains of services, aligned with the EDS and Italian INRRP missions: AI for public services to citizens, AI for fiscal analysis and fraud detection, AI for tourism, AI for food and sustainable agriculture. AI-PACT aims at supporting PAs in enhancing their capacity to assess their beneficiaries’ needs for digital public services and to design, test and implement AI-based solutions. AI-PACT aims at facilitating the consolidation of start-ups, SMEs and larger firms operating in the ICT and gov tech industry that have the proper implementation capacity to partner with PAs for their digital transformation purposes
